Why Adults with ADHD Face a Higher Risk ...

David A Greenwood
About this episode

Busy adults with ADHD often face the challenges of burnout. And sometimes, adults with ADHD can burn out harder and faster than others.

On this episode of Overcoming Distractions, we discuss why we may see more burnout in the adult ADHD community.

At the basic level, those of us with ADHD have challenges with executive functions, managing the emotional aspect of ADHD, time management and other factors that are major contributors to burnout.

Paula Liub is a burnout expert for ADHD, autistic, and highly sensitive people.

Combining her own burnout experience with a degree in psychology, yoga, and 20 years of mindfulness practices, Paula has developed an effective system that beats and prevents burnout by using a combination of science backed and mindfulness tools. 

Our main discussion points about ADHD and burnout include:

·         Why ADHD Brains are More Prone to Burnout

·         Recognizing Early Burnout Signals (Especially in ADHD)

·         Biggest pitfalls in ADHD burnout

·         Practical Tips to Regulate Your Nervous System & Energy

·         Best approaches beyond tips and tricks
